PURISTS look away now, for the weighty tome that is the Oxford English Dictionary has just added a number of new words, a few of which have us stumped. Foggy bottom, anyone?

The latest raft of new terms include YOLO, oompa loompa, moobs and 'Merica - and over 1000 more, some of which are not for the faint of heart.

We had a look back at other words that have made it onto the hallowed pages of the OED over the years and picked out some of the craziest we could find.

Twerk

The OED defines twerking as 'a sexually provocative dance or dance move involving thrusting movements of the bottom and hips while in a low, squatting stance.'

We might define it more as a move that, unless you are blessed with natural rhythm, will NOT make you look like Rihanna after a few glasses of wine - believe us, we've tried.

'Face with tears of joy'

We're with the old guard on this one - an emoji is not a word in our book. But the Oxford bigwigs have deemed it to be so, even making this pictograph its word of the year in 2015, and who are we to argue?

Hangry

That particular strain of rage that is only produced when hunger and irritation meet. Usually to be found when experiencing slow service in a mediocre food establishment or when you've been unable to stave off the afternoon slump with a quick sugar fix.

Manspreading

When a chap appears to forget that other people need to sit down on public transport too. Legs splayed, these manspreaders are usually too engrossed in their digital devices or catching some shuteye to realise that their neighbours are smooshed all together. Annoying.

FOMO

The curse of the social media age is that sneaking new companion, the Fear of Missing Out. The filtered and heavily edited offerings on Facebook and Instagram are giving us the feeling that there might be more to life than hanging out with our cat and eating baked beans and sausages out of a tin every night.

YOLO

Another acronym, this time from this year's word additions. You Only Live Once is oft shrieked when one is about to undertake a questionable life decision - from drunk dialing that ex who is big trouble to jumping off a cliff while attached by the ankles to a flimsy rubber rope.

Butthurt

This delightful term means to feel overly or unjustifiably offended, usually at a perceived personal slight and often bandied about over petty online goings-on. We say don't sweat the small stuff guys.
